I don't bother with xp2 (a c41 bw film) because it shares enough in characteristics with colour film converted (which is cheaper).
Real bw film works in a different way though. It has clean shadows, it's sharp etc and can be pushed or just exposed less and you can control contrast. It's boss. It can cost you more or less depending how you go about it (for instance you could buy bulk rolls of kentmere and process/scan yourself and it's cheap ... or you could buy ilford/kodak pre-rolled and pay a pro lab and go broke).

So here's the thing, and probably been discussed before...
but do I shoot in B&W and process and print/scan, or just shoot C41 film process/scan and then desaturate for B&W.
Pro's and Cons, Experiences, anything?
